Thinking of heading to your local Cineworld this weekend? Here’s a rundown of this week’s hottest new releases to help you pick the perfect film (or films) for your weekend viewing.
Pride
Unlikely allies join forces against a common enemy in this feelgood British comedy-drama based on an amazing true story. During the London Gay Pride March of 1984, activist Mark (Ben Schnetzer) makes a momentous decision. As a gesture of solidarity, he decides to form an organisation called Lesbians and Gay Men Support the Miners. They raise heaps of cash, but can't find any striking mineworkers who are prepared to accept it. Eventually, they make contact with a small Welsh pit village, whose representative, Dai (Paddy Considine), invites the activists to pay a visit.
A Most Wanted Man
Philip Seymour Hoffman stars in a heart-stopping thriller adapted from spy novelist John le Carré's bestseller. A mysterious man arrives in modern-day Hamburg seeking help from the city's Islamic community. Tortured almost to the point of death, Issa (Grigoriy Dobrygin) claims to be half-Chechen and half-Russian. He's also looking to recover his late father's dubiously acquired fortune. It's not long before Issa has attracted the keen attention of the British, German and American security services, who are all keen to uncover his real identity.
The Boxtrolls
An orphan boy leads his quirky family of subterranean critters into battle with an evil villain in this fun-packed family animation. 11-year-old Eggs (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) has been raised in the underground lair of the Boxtrolls. These lovable creatures only come out at night to scour the streets of Cheesebridge for trash, which they turn into amazing inventions!
